Since $50 the Russian Government
has been engaged in the great work of
draining the insk marshes, in the
southwest of Russia, an area very much
larger than Ireland. Several thousand
men nave been employed, and up to
the present time about 1000, 500 acres
have been reclaimed by the construction
of several thousand miles of bitches
and canals, so broad as to be navigable
for large barges. OF the reclaimed
district about half is ready for cultiva-

The True Model Wife.

To be the loved and honored queen
of a happy home, is destiny which
calls for high womanly attributes and
attachments.
The model wife understands fully the
duties and obligations devolving upon
her. She is not doll, to be petted
and caressed only, but truly help
meet to tho husband who has chosen
her from all the world to make him
happy.
Her affection is not based upon the
amount of Injuries with which lie is
able to surround and fill her life. She
is free from selfish extravaganza in
whatever station she may be placed,
and capable of self-denial when neces-
sary, even to the extent of wearing her
last seasons hat or bonnet-incredible
as this may seem.
The model wife is not given to fault
finding and scolding, and she never
says Il told you So" She is true
housekeeper, and by the exercise of
order and womanly taste makes Of her
dwelling very beautiful house, an
! ideal resting place for the breadwinner
OF her family, of whose peaceful COM
fort he thinks with longing and antici
patton through the busy and often
times trying days She does not clamor
for the right of suffrage, nor neglect
her family while searching for a mission,
realizing that the inalienable right al
ready is here-that of making home
happy, and high and noble mission
is involved in SO ordering her home
life as to influence each member of the
60 vi Lnt or
plan OF existence.
She is an intelligent companion, and
has sincere and sympathetic aprre ia
ton of her husbands life, of his Joys,
hopes, aims, and sorrows. She is thor
oughly veysed in the different branches
of household lore. She never places
before her husband sour, heavy bread,
soggy potatoes, tough, burned steak,
and most objectionable of atl--muddv,
| overlooked coffee, under the plea that
"the cook has left" She knows that
mans health and happiness depend in
! great measure upon the manner in
which his home is kept, and she en-
deavOrs to render him comfortable in
his daily life She is always scrupu
lousy neat as to her own attire; sho
dresses in becoming and tasteful man
ner, and does not consider it y waste of
time to keep up her practice m music,
merely to entertain and please her
family. She possesses an invaluable
weapon for keeping her matrimonial
pathway smooth, namely: tact, a quail
ity which many wise, good wives seem
to lack utterly. Possessing this yalu.
able trait, when her tired husband re-
turns at evening, she does not pour in
his ears doleful recital of the days
troubles and worries, nor ask him end
less questions. She understands full
we'll that tired, hungry man is gem
orally slightly impatient, if not cross;
she gree,s him therefore, with an
orderly room, invitingiy spread table
of tempting food, some dainty surprise
his favorite delicacy perhaps-and
above all, smiling, cheerful welcome.

THE residents of the village of River
head, Long Island, n. Y, were thrown
into a great state of excitement by the
report that large gorilla was sport
Gunners were chased out of the woods,
leaving their guns and birds behind
them in order to escape the clutches of
the ugly monster. The gorilla was
said to be the size of man and kept
in ambush till his prey came along.
During the night belated people on the
highways were brushed against by the
monster. and greatly terrorized farm
ers were robbed of their turnips, cab
bage, and other products, until finally
they determined to stop it. Parties
were organized and searched the woods
with guns, clubs, pitchforks, and
many other weapons, and after enough
powder and shot to start young
magazine was wasted, the monster was
surrounded while in hiding and sent
Keeling to the ground from a blow on
the head with a club. In an instant
the whole party fell upon the PROSTATE
form of the monster" and amid the
kicks and blows cries for mercy were
heard. 1t was then discoveed that the
captive was coal-black negro, named
Sam Youngs, who lives as a hermit IN
the woods. He had made q skin-tght
suit out of some cowhide and attached
a cows tail behind. Youngs, when
questioned as to what was his motive
for such disguise, said he was making
a livelihood robbing tho gunners and
farmers. He was then cautioned by
one of the farmers that if any more
such pranks were played his life would
not be worth much. The news of the
capture quickly spread through the
town and many threats were made IT,

A NEWLY married Brooklyn drummer
took his wife, pretty young girl, to

the first act, went into the lobby and
tried, in an excited manner, to induce
the policeman who was there to arrest
n woman" in the house. The police
man thought he had been drinking, and
refused to humor him. He went back
to his seat, and during the second act
told his wife they would have to leave,
and that he would explain later. He
seemed greatly excited. In the lobby
he met the policeman, and insisted that
his wife be arrested, as he was afraid
Of her. He was escorted to the station

there his wife had threatened to kill
him, and he intened to cut her heart
out and then kill himself. He is now

The Fm.urc Range Country.

South America is the coming range
country, says the Stock Gro,vcrS'
Journal, and is destined to cut no
small figure in supplying the world
with meats. The grazing capacity of
Brazil, the Argentine hepublic, and
other South American States i prac-
tically unlimited, and the only reason
that more meats have not been shipped
from those countries is because they
have not so far been i'll possession of n
class of cattle that would produ meat
that could compete i'll foreign markets
with the juicy products of other meat
producing sections. But this evil is
likely to be remediea as rapidly as
money and blood can create better ami
mails, for the sharp eyed Yankee and
the Englishman with piethoric pocket
book have their eyes on the broad
grazing grounds of this Southern con
tinent, and soon there will be such an
expectation of improved bulls to that
country as never was known before in
any country, and the Southern scrubs
Will rap dly disappear and their places
be taken by better beef-prod cling AMI
mails. Then will the i'm proved methods
Oh marketing dressed lneitS De put INTO
operation in the large seaport towns on
a heavy ales, and South America VIII
become famous as q source OF supply
for provis ons. We have no reason to
suppose that the grasses in those couu
tries will not make as fine quality of
beef as the grasses of any other cOun-
try in the world, and when once good
breed of cattle has taken the place of
the inferior cattle now grazing there,
we shall see good meats in abundance
shipped from Buenos Ayres and other
convenient ports. In fact, the climate
conditions of great part of South
America are exactly such as wou'd
produce the most nutritious grasses,
the heavy III malls which cause such
luxuriant growth of grSss being fol-
lowed by long seasons OF sunshine,
which cures the grass so eflcctually.

lishments, and help to keep up the

RECENTLY young physician of the
Harvard Medical School, says the Bos-
ton Record, conceived the idea OF play
ing Joke on Miss Annie Copeland,
one of the lady students of the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, and at the
same time rubbing out an old score he
had laid up against her. His plans
were carefully mapped out, and, every
thing being in readiness, the lady was
called upon to attend case of fracture
of the leg. Somewhat astonished, she
promptly answered the summons of
suffering humanity, confident in her
ability to sustain the dignity of the
profession she had adopted. On ar
irving at the residence indicated, she
was surprised to find her patient to be
a man about 40 years old, apparently
suffering the most excrutiating pains
Moving the covering, she discovered
the fracture to be that of wooden leg.
Nothing daunted, and without showing
any evidence of her discovery, she
quietly replaced the coverings, said she
must go for some splints and bandages,
and would return Immediately. She
did SO, bringing with her some small
pieces of brass and brads, with which
she at once prepared to repair the frac-
tured limb. The surgical operation
was performed in remarkably short
space of tine, and the injury left to the
healing process of Nature. She quietly
gave the necessary directions, inform
ed the man that he would be all right
in day or two, and that her bill was
SIS. 1t is scarcely necessary to say
that the fee was not forthcoming, the
matter being treated as good joke.
Next morning, however, Miss Cope
land appeared on the scene with con-
stable, and, much to the chagrin of the
son of Escularius, collected her fee. 1t
would seem that, if the young gradu-
ates of Harvard Medical School wish
to get ahead of the lady students OF
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, they would have to rise very
early, and use more brass than Miss
copeland did in reducing the fracture
pf the wooden leg,

his last known composition:
